This is a photo of a parking lot in the back of the Artist's Res at night. It can only be seen photographically because the white balance on the camera accentuates the warm colors of the street lights and the green lighting of the parking lot. This photo uses line to create three areas of light, the green parking lot and then the two warmly lit streets which surround the parking lot. I liked this photo because it accentuates the parking lot's green lighting, giving it a kind of creepy feeling in comparison with the warmer yellowish lighting of the streets in the front and back.

who is M. Uno? Can you include your name in the posting so we know who you are?
My eye is drawn first to the green in contrast to the street. I would have liked it better if some of the bottom was cropped so that was emphasizd a little more.
Miguel--I wonder if your use of line in this image could emphasize the feeling of creepiness by leading us more into the parking lot, by pointing to a deeper space of the image? Right now you have as you say used the line to create clearly defined areas, also separated by a hallucinatory use of color. These three spaces are not creepy to me, partially because they are fairly evenly balanced in your composition, which lends a sense of harmony. If there were more elements to the composition in shadow, or which lead into a deeper unseen space of the image, or were unbalanced in some way, then the sense of creepiness you were looking for would be accentuated.
